Replacement Fees

The patron is billed for replacement after 40 days or after reaching the $10 maximum per item.

Charges:

* Government Document replacement fees will be determined on a case by case basis.

**LINK+ fees are determined by the LINK+ Advisory Board.

Notes:

If items are returned after reaching the billed stage, the borrower is still responsible for the maximum overdue fee per item (see chart).

Instead of paying for the item's replacement, a replacement copy may be provided to the library. Costs will then be reduced to the overdue fee plus the processing fee. The final decision on the acceptability of an item is at the discretion of the library. This does not apply to Link+ books. The replacement must meet the following conditions:

• it may be hardbound or paperbound; no mass market paperbacks accepted
• it must be the same edition or a newer edition of the item being replaced
• it must be a new or good used copy

If lost items are found and returned after payment, the cost of the item may be refunded. Overdue and processing fees will not be refunded. The following criteria must be met for refund:

• no more than six months have passed since fees were paid
• the lost item has not been replaced by the library
• the lost item has not been withdrawn from the collection
• patron still has his/her receipt
